Thurs-Friday MOTN and randoms

[Jalapeñomel]

D is just now getting into a sleeping pattern, but I'm really lax about this, so take that with a grain of salt.

Our first night home from our trip and DS was out in minutes. Yay for being home! I'm also excited to be sharing a bed with my husband instead of my toddler.

DD went down easily at 11 but is up again and feeding. I hope she goes back to sleep easily.

However, I was dreaming I was in a plane crash in Russia when she woke me so kind of glad she got me out of that!

Ugh, what happened to my kid? Starting by two months, would regularly go 7ish hours for his first stretch of sleep. Ever since he got sick about a month ago (just before turning 4 months), it's slowly shortened to 6... Then 5 hours. Tonight way barely 4! This guarantees another wake up, probably 2 before I have to get up for work. Is this the 4 month wakeful?

Also, the old people in my life can suck it. They kept insisting on S starting rice cereal at like 6 weeks or something and he'd magically sleep. Spoiler alert... He started a week ago and it's not working. I'm glad to be able to tell them, 'Told ya so', but I'd really like to get back to only 1 (or none!) wake up.

@kdubs sounds like the 4mw to me.,dd was the same. We just sleep trained this week at almost 11 months because I couldn't take it any more.

We're having a rough one here. DS has had a fever since weds and an ear infection. Tonight seems to be worse, looks like we are going back to the Dr tomorrow if it doesn't break. I really don't deal well when he's sick and we've had a lot of sickness this winter. I'm ready for spring!

Wakeup #1 here. I'm pumping but my hands free bra is in the wash. My mother is here handling her Angry Bird (her MOTN nickname for DD) so I don't have to do the simultaneous pump/feed baby/burp baby/Boppy baby routine and can say hi on this thread.

I am dreading having to wake up in 2 hours to pump again because I need to leave the house by 6 am to avoid morning rush hour into the city.

DD (9 weeks) slept in the crib for the first time last night. Once she went to sleep she was fine but she was fighting it for awhile. Here's hoping she goes back easily now.

I'm back on wake up #2. DD just drained a pumped bottle but was still giving hunger cues do is now on the breast. If she doesn't start gaining with the amount she is putting away, I'm going to cry.

I think we are living parallel lives, based on your last two posts. If it's any consolation, DS gained a pound between this week and last and his feedings sound very similar to your feedings. How old is your dd? I'm on the app.

Wake up two here, but the first stretch was four hours and 15 minutes between feedings! The extra hour of sleep felt awesome!

DD slept in the rnp in her room last night. I slept surprisingly well! Next step is to get her into her crib.

And then dd puked up everything she ate while I was writing this post. Fun times.

I told DH yesterday that I wanted to move DS to his own room since he's a loud sleeper and keeps me up. I was thinking we'd move him in the RNP like I had spoken about to DH before then transition him to the crib. When DH came to bed tonight he told me DS was in the crib. I was like great, on the night I'm not sleeping well! Then the battery in the monitor died. I just happened to wake up to hear DS crying. All those things aside, the transition is going easier tonight than I thought it would.
